It wasn't my intent to blame anyone; I'm sorry if it sounded like that.

You have to admit, though, that the new Controller Layer has been the source of a lot of confusion since it was introduced. It's very easy to get excited about the cool new things you can do with bindings and KVO, and this naturally leads to frustration when you find out that it doesn't quite work as you had expected.

If you simply want to ensure that two values are kept in sync without a controller, you are encouraged to use key-value observing.

... effectively re-implementing something that (I thought) bindings already do.

I just want to understand *why* Apple chose to make bindings one-way only. No blame, no bad feelings. Simple, pure curiosity. :-)

Kind regards,
Rene Puls
